Trust your gut.

Hull is great.

Concern on engine - old, not many work on Opti’s. Do you have a local mech lined up?
Keep in mind a new engine will run 22-25K.

Performance could be due to conservative mounting position. 2-holes up is recommended. Should have a good stainless prop.

Replace the cables.
Trim tabs run $1-1,200. Add after first year of ownership.
Plan to change ALL the through hull drains.
The seat is an issue of maintenance, Remove it and then service the aluminum hardware.

Trust your gut.
